Those of you waiting on the new Arcade Fire album have a juicy morsel to chew on today: James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem who's been producing the new album, has weighed in with thoughts on how it's going.

“I’m too in the middle of it to know which way it will go in the end. But it’s going to be a fantastic record,” he said when speaking to the Daily Star. Murphy was in New York for a presentation at the Red Bull Music Academy (which you can watch in full below).

“They are so good they could produce themselves, so my role in the band depends on the song. Sometimes I’m going around making suggestions and playing instruments, other times I’m just helping the arrangements.”
